Engage for Good has given its 2023 Golden Halo Award to ESPN for its charitable work during the calendar year.
“ESPN stands out for the numerous ways it integrates the resources of the world’s leading sports media brand to take on challenges such as equitable access to sports for young people, bullying prevention and combatting cancer,” said Engage for Good President David Hessekiel.
The organization honored ESPN for its work with organizations like Access to Sports, The V Foundation, The Choose Kindness Project, and Story-Telling With A Purpose.
“ESPN is so proud to receive the Golden Halo Award, which we believe is the highest honor in corporate cause marketing,” said ESPN Vice President of Corporate Citizenship Kevin Martinez. “This award celebrates the meaningful impact our company, employees and partners have made in the places where we live, work and play. As part of The Walt Disney Company, ESPN knows the power of diverse and purpose-driven storytelling, and how it can drive social change by sharing stories of sports creating positive impacts on our society.”
Martinez will accept the honor during the Engage for Good Conference in Atlanta on May 16-18th.
